The only downloadable video I find are: http://www.loosechange911.com/trailer.wmv (which doesn't mention put options) http://video.google.com/videogvp/LooseChange2ndEditio.gvp?docid=- 5137581991288263801 (which doesn't actually download anything - just a 1kb file) What did you have in mind?
Not the trailer..The video itself. The video mentions put options.. I think it's within the first 1/2 hour ..
Yes, I'm watching it now, about 16 minutes into it.
Please take notes on whatever is said about "put options", when, what stock...
On 9/6/2001 United Airlines - 4 times the normal amount - 3,150 On 9/7/2001 Boeing - 5 times the normal amount - 27,294 On 9/10/2001 American Airlines - 11 times the normal amount - 4,516 Also stuff on Larry Silverstein, 6 weeks before 9/11/2001.
September 6-10, 2001: Suspicious Trading of Put Option Contracts on American and United Airlines Occur A. B."Buzzy" Krongard. Suspicious trading occurs on the stock of American and United, the two airlines hijacked in the 9/11 attacks. “Between 6 and 7 September, the Chicago Board Options Exchange [sees] purchases of 4,744 put option contracts [a speculation that the stock will go down] in UAL versus 396 call options—where a speculator bets on a price rising. Holders of the put options would [net] a profit of $5 million once the carrier's share price [dive] after September 11. On September 10, 4,516 put options in American Airlines, the other airline involved in the hijackings, [are] purchased in Chicago. This compares with a mere 748 call options in American purchased that day. Investigators cannot help but notice that no other airlines [see] such trading in their put options.” One analyst later says, “I saw put-call numbers higher than I've ever seen in ten years of following the markets, particularly the options markets.” [Associated Press, 9/18/01; San Francisco Chronicle, 9/19/01] “To the embarrassment of investigators, it has also [learned] that the firm used to buy many of the ‘put’ options ... on United Airlines stock was headed until 1998 by ‘Buzzy’ Krongard, now executive director of the CIA.” Krongard was chairman of Alex Brown Inc., which was bought by Deutsche Bank. “His last post before resigning to take his senior role in the CIA was to head Bankers Trust—Alex Brown's private client business, dealing with the accounts and investments of wealthy customers around the world.” [Independent, 10/14/01]
Weird: "Deutsche Banc Alex Brown, the American investment banking arm of German giant Deutsche Bank, as the investment bank used to purchase at least some of the options." The same source told the newspaper, "Investors have yet to collect more than $2.5 million in profits they made trading options in the stock of United Airlines before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks." Unusual trading in the stocks of companies that were tenants in the World Trade Center: Morgan Stanley; Dean Witter & Co. (An investment bank that had occupied 22 floors in the World Trade Center) The Independent of London reported that "In the first week of September, an average of 27 put option contracts was bought each day" for shares of Morgan Stanley. "The total for the three days before the attacks was 2,157." ---Independent, 10/14/01 ******************* Wasnt Morgan Stanley the firm that employed Indira Sangh.. the whistleblower re PROMIS?
